I just purchased a HD 6950 and installed into the case today. Problem is that computer won't boot (just a flash of LEDs in case and then nothing) with the cables to the three monitors plugged in. If I remove the cables, it boots fine. At that point, I can plug in the cables and all is well. It will restart no problem but a cold start and only frustration and anger. This card is replacing a HD 5870 that was crashing (BSOD) and I have not had any problems like this before. I built this machine, so I am certain that the other components are operating fine. Power supply is 1200W with plenty of power to spare.
Please throw some ideas that I can try to allow this computer to boot with cables plugged in.
Note: I have three monitors, but only two are being used due to me not realizing that I ordered passive DP cables. I have active cable ordered. This could be problem. I also suspect a short somewhere on the card (that would suck) and I will have to send it back.
Thank you.
